  • Make procurement decisions with sustainability in mind.
    eg. recycled paper, high rates of recycling, reduced business travel, working from home permissions, low energy devices, annually reporting their carbon & sustainability impact.
  • Publicise your achievements (so people see what a great company you are).

EMPLOYEES:

BE INCONVENIENT:

  • Speak Truth to Power: Support climate change solutions at council meetings and other open forums with elected leaders. Support and vote for elected officials who will act on climate issues. Work to defeat those who will not.
  • Talk about Climate Change: Watch the Al Gore film ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ and the sequel ‘Truth to Power’. Use the 10 minute primer on the video as a great conversation starter. See: climaterealityproject.org
  • Write about Climate issues: Write a letter to the editor, opinion piece or post on social media about the urgency of the climate crisis and climate solutions. Engage with those who do not see the problem for our planet and our future.  #BEINCONVENIENT
  • Switch your Community to Renewables: Tell community leaders you want clean energy and a sustainable future for your village, town or city.
  • Run for Office: There are thousands of opportunities to run for office; join a clean energy or environment/sustainability company; or join a campaigning group; or join a community group; and make a difference at local, district, county, regional, national or even global level.
